THE DESIGN PROCESS?

Health and safety risks need to be considered alongside other factors that influence the design, such as cost, fitness for purpose, aesthetics and environmental impact.

Bricks
46 varieties of standard-shapes 127 specially designed ones. 175,000 brick in total
Not one of them was cut Every brick was shaped and baked individually - some are straight, others kink to fit the
- ddly shaped corners.
Not necessarily those that involve the greatest risks, but those (including health risks) that are:
Not likely to be obvious (to a competent
contractor or designer)
Unusual Likely to be difficult to manage effectively.

PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
“principal designer” means the designer appointed under regulation 5(1)(a) to perform the duties in regulations 11 and 12; 5(1)(a) “… a designer with control over the pre-construction phase …”
CONIAC 19/11/14 “such as an Architect or
- ther competent designer”.
DESIGNER
“designer” means any person (including a client, contractor or other person referred to in these Regulations) who in the course or furtherance of a business—
(a) prepares or modifies a design; or (b) arranges for, or instructs, any person
under their control to do so,.
Principal Designer must be a Designer, appointed in writing by the Client as PD with control over the H&S elements of the Pre Construction Phase One of the Design Team, perhaps the Lead Designer may be best placed to undertake the role but the PD does not have to be a Designer on the project. NB SKE & OC for the role.
WHO CAN BE THE PD?

- n the PD role,
some support Lead designer automatically takes on PD role, with no support
For me the Principal Designer role is about asking questions What are some of the questions that could be asked to improve DfS
- utcomes?
QUESTIONS
Is it necessary for a worker to work at height? What stops the worker injuring themselves if they fall? What are the health implications of the activity that arises from that design? What maintenance processes does the client already have in place?.
QUESTIONS
Is the site big enough to build out this design? Can the fire risk during the build process be managed? Is there adequate information about current risks? Why are we building this structure? Why does it have this form? Why are we using these materials?.
QUESTIONS
The designer will say:
I don’t know, you tell me; What should we do then.
RISKS
Overturning decisions that have been carefully thought out by the design team Residual risk information and decision making process needs to be consulted Risk is that perceived cost of health and safety is ‘known’ but value is not.
VALUE ENGINEERING
CLIENTS
Provide information Management arrangements & welfare Appointees have K, S & E and OC Notification. Appointment & performance of PD & PC
SUMMARY
Co-ordinate contractors Provide information. Eliminate and reduce risks Work safely Safe & healthy working environment Design risk management
